appcfg.py & .xaml files (silverlight) & mimtype issue

[Neo42]

How do I use the upload tool (appcfg.py) and my app.yaml file to
upload .XAML (silverlight) files?


Here are the handlers in my yaml:
handlers:
- url: /stylesheets
static_dir: stylesheets

- url: /silverlight
static_dir: silverlight

- url: /.*
script: helloworld.py



My xaml and such is in the silverlight directory. My appcfg.py
command is:
appcfg.py update C:\GoogleAppsProjects\HelloWorld


When I try to do it I get this:
"Could not guess mimetype for silverlight/scene.xaml. Using
application/octet-stream."



And the uploaded xaml file doesn't work. By the way, the localhost
version of the app runs fine. It's the upload tool that is screwing
something up.


I can't figure out how to do it from this page:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/configuringanapp.html#Static_File_Handlers



I'm new to python. Please help. I suppose I could try to put my xaml
code in the html code, but I'd prefer not to.

Thanks.

You can specify the MIME type manually with the mime_type option in app.yaml.  For example:

- url: /silverlight/(.*\.xaml)

  static_files: silverlight/\1

  mime_type: application/xaml+xml

(I didn't test this, so let me know how it goes.  :) )

Hi,

Does this work if you add the mime_type argument explicitly to the handle?

- url: /silverlight
  static_dir: silverlight

  mime_type: applicaition/x-silverlight-app

I got it to work by:

1) Modifying my appcfg.py code. Added a mimetype. Details below.
2) check my html and file names for case (the online google app engine
is case sensitive)

File: C:\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\appcfg.py
Towards the bottom in function "main" needs to run this line (i made
it the first line):
mimetypes.add_type("application/xaml", ".xaml")

Thanks!

Now I also know how to pass values to and return values from the
google app engine datastore:


here's my code:::: - default.html, scene.js , scene.xaml, and
silverlight.js (downloadable from the web) are placed in the subfolder
silverlight. the rest go in the root of the app.


app.yaml:

application: nameofapplicationhere
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /stylesheets
static_dir: stylesheets

- url: /silverlight
static_dir: silverlight


- url: /.*
script: helloworld.py

helloworld.py:
